Description of Tool:

Set up a chat room for a live blogging experience. It does not have anonymity as it traces the participants, there is a small chance of malicious use within the tool.

How does tool apply to your curricular area?

It could be used by the students as a sort of online study session, where ideas could be shared to further deepen the students' understanding. Also since there is a tracker of use that can be used by the administrator(teacher), it can be seen how much the students use the tool and the teacher can see if there is a correlation between the use and how well the student does. It can also be used in the classroom as a sort of back end chat room as a sort of way to ask questions to other students about a problem without interrupting the class and raising their hand.

Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why?

- In the evaluation aspect, when the students are in a study room, they would have to know how to answer and participate in the discussion that is going on
- If the teacher was using the tool in the classroom as a sort of back end chat room for questions, the students would be using the understanding aspect to help clarify other student's problems.
